The woman who owned this house before we bought it must have LOVED irises. There are several hundred all around the yard. We moved in last June, so I haven't gotten a chance to see them in bloom until now.
When they began blooming I initially thought that we only had purple irises. However, the yellow and white irises have just begun to bloom. I'm in love with them all.
I had to move over a hundred rhizomes last summer in order to make room for the herb garden. I'm so glad that I didn't let one iris die. I safely transplanted each one that was removed. It's been a pleasure to finally see all the different colors that were hiding inside.
